What's crazy is that this seems to showTrumps ICE has been undermining trust in federal officers.
There is a big difference between "Is it acceptable to help an illegal immigrant avoid Ice" and "Is it acceptable to help a legal immigrant stay in the country". However these concepts are getting blurred together as ICE continues to go after immigrants who are following proper procedures to stay in the country.
Even if you don't believe the idea of illegal vs legal matters, Americans have historically been torn over this issue. This poll seems to indicate though, that as ICE goes after "effectively legal" immigrants it appears to be turning the population more "pro-immigrant".
